speculative, and 1.-The wish father to the
thought" and has become assuring and
definite reality. We have shown during
the present week, by the published state
ments of many of our leading citizens, that
real estate has advanced within the last
few months, in the city and adjacent, to
largely increased figures, and in some in
stances pieces of property have been sold at
an advance of from forty to one hundred
per cent. This has not been given in vague
and generalizing terms, but the names of
vendors and purchasers given, with former
and present prices. These are evidences of
substantial improvement in financial out
look and values, that are accepted in the
most conservative commercial circles, and
upon which shrewd investors, as well as
speculatOrs, base conclusions for invest
ment and active operations.
a GRAND SCHEME IN THE INTEREST OF SAC
RAMENTo
The most important movement that
could possibly be devised to foster and ad-
vance the present upward tendency of val
ues, and the prosperity of Sacramento and
its suburban section has been planned, and
is to be put into operation next week by the
management of the Sacramento and
Placerville Railroad Company. Had Sac
ramento sought to ask of the railroad au-
thorities the greatest favor that could be
conferred at this time, there could have
been none other so opportune, and which
would cyi, ,rn of cnah aYtan1oI nd
beneficial results for the prosperity of the
city and its growth, as that for which ar
rangements have been completed and
which is to be inaugurated almost simul-
taneously with this announcement.
The movement referred to consists of
establishing four new way stations within
the city limits, in the southeastern and
eastern sections, to provide opportunity for
building up that portion of the city and be-
yOnd with suburban homes, and to
RUN EARLY AND LATE TRAINS AT CHEAP
RATES
To accommodate those who take advan-
tage of the plan proposed. This will prove
the most direct and powerful aid to the
boom spirit and to the general prosperity
which is now manifest. The plan of build
ing a cableroad to Brighton, and the effect
it would have in bringing about the sub
division of large tracts of land into small
holdings, to be occupied and built up by
numerous families, will, in effect, to great
extent be thus adopted and put at once into
practical operation.
NEW STATIONS WITHIN THE CITY.
Under the new arrangement there will
be stations along the Sacramento and
Placerville Railroad on + street, in this
city-at Ninth street, Eighteenth street
and Twenty-sixth street. The latter is
only about six blocks distant from Home
stead Station, which stands about where
Thirty y-second street would be, and thus that
entire section cf the city will be within easy
reach of passing trains, and with low rate of
fare, and the tIip quickly made. That
portion of the city which is now but little
occupied, because of its remoteness, for
purposes of residences will be brought
practically into close proximity to the rail-
road depot and shops and the lower bust
ness portion of Sacramento.
THE RUNNING OF TRAINS.
To make available this opportunity to
purchase and occupy suburban homes by
the greatest number, special train will be
run morning and evening-betore the
opening and after the closing of the rail
road and other shops. The train will
leave Folsom in the morning in time to stop
at all stations-including the three in this
city-and arrive at the Sacramento depot
at $50 A. M.-ten minutes before the rail
road whistle blows for commencement of
work in the morning. In the afternoon
the special train will leave the Sacramento
depot at 5:10, or ten minutes after the
whistle blows for closing at the shops
This will enable all who are employed at
the shops, as we'll as others whose hours of
employment are similar, to locate in that
portion of the city, or beyond, where
good-sized lot or small piece of
land can be purchased at very
reasonable rates, and where beautiful
homes may be built up, with opportunity
to raise fruit and vegetables, and keep a
COW, if desired. In this manner, many
who are now living in small tenement
houses in unpleasant localities, and with
not q foot of ground to till, nor having anv
fruit except as purchased from the stores,
nor the opportunity to keep a cow or horse,
can, without being to any greater expense,
occupy pleasant homes and surroundings,
and by making monthly payments of pur-
chase money, instead of paying monthly
for rent, soon become the owners of their
homes, with largely increased comforts and
pleasures.
SUBURBAN HOMES.
Not only will this arrangement of new
stations and special trains soon fill the
southeastern portion of the city with new
and attractive homes which will be largely
owned by those who occupy them, but it
requires no prophetic eye to see that as any
one takes the train at any point this side of
Folsom can arrive here in the morning in
time for any kind of employment or bus
mess, and return after close of working
hours at night thus the entire route will
become available for suburban homes.
Thus, large farm will be worth more
for subdivision and occupancy in small
holding than for farming, and the nearer
portion of the American river district, so
well fitted for that purpose, viii. beyond
doubt, at no distant day be populated by
people whose employment or business is
in Sacramento. This is but the natural
result seen in other places where the same
opportunities and facilities are presented.
and Sacramento and vicinity will prove no
exception 10 the rule.
low RATE OF FARE.
The fare between the railroad de1aot in
Lhis city and Homestead Station, Just out
side the city Limits, or TO any of the y-ay
stations between these two. going or eoel-
ing. will be ten cents for single fare, or If
purchased at communication rates viii BE
but six cents. Neat ana convenient little
books Of thirty communication tickets have
been prepared and are now ready for use.
which can be obtained for 81 so. These
tickets will be good for the purchaser or
for members of his or her family, but will
not be transferable.
This remarkably low rate OF SIX cents
will enable person who desires to reside
at Homestead Station, or this side, 10 go
bsck and forth eaeh day for the small sum
of u cents per eek, or less than So per
month. The time hat will be consumed
in travel will be less than is ordinarily oc-
cupied in walking to and from places of
residence in the central portion of the city, |
hence these suburban points will become |
in reality cheaper places fer residence and
